EU Council has withdrawn the vote on Chat Control - Lemmy.World

Moritz Körner, Member of the European Parliament, disclosed the decision on Twitter. Swedish publisher SVG said, “The question was removed at the last moment from Thursday’s ambassadorial meeting in Brussels”.

Wasn’t this rejected once already? Perhaps if they wanted to do something useful, they should pass something that says that if something is majority disliked twice or something, then it should be withdrawn and not proposed again for at least 100 years.
They will keep trying again and again and again. The assault on privacy has been going on for decades and it will never stop.

Nono, it will always only be used to catch criminals, that won’t change…it’s what makes someone a criminal that changes.
Ha, fuckin’ touché
